🧪 Poll of the Week

Whale Just Moved $222M in BTC — Masterstroke or Exit Scam? 🐋💸

The same whale who shorted before the crash just split 2,000 BTC into 51 wallets. Traders are divided: is he setting up the next play… or pulling the plug? What’s your call?

👉 Vote wisely — your bags depend on it.

Bitcoin Drops $19B in 48 Hours — The biggest crash since 2023, triggered by Trump’s 100% China tariff bombshell.
Kraken buys $100M U.S. Futures Exchange — While others panic, Kraken expands its U.S. derivatives play.
AI Tokens Ignore the Bloodbath — ChainOpera AI (COAI) soared 340% while majors bled red.
Whale Transfers $222M in BTC — The same insider who shorted before the crash just moved funds into 51 new wallets.
European Blockchain Convention Kicks Off — Regulators and institutions eye cross-border DeFi compliance.

💡This week proved that macro shocks still rule crypto. Trump tweets can still wreck charts, whales still steer sentiment, and yet, innovation doesn’t stop.

🔥The $192M Whale Who Shorted the Crash… and Is Doing It Again

Just 30 minutes before Trump’s 100% China tariff bombshell, one trader — wallet 0xb317 on Hyperliquid — opened a $1.1B leveraged short on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The result? Nearly $192 million in profit as markets cratered.

And get this — now the same whale is back, dumping another $163M in shorts as sentiment hits “Extreme Fear.”

Here’s what we know so far:

📉 Opened 10x–12x short positions moments before Trump’s tariff announcement.
💰 Net profit: $192M — one of the largest single-trader wins in crypto history.
🕵️‍♂️ Blockchain investigators suspect insider intel, but no proof (yet).
⚖️ The event’s reignited debate over market transparency and insider trading in DeFi.

👉 The whale’s doubling down — is it conviction, manipulation, or both?
